The Ketogenic diet for some reason has been quite controversial over the last 10-15 years or so.
Not sure why, however, as the many thousands of people that have benefitted from it is well-documented.
I have personally experienced pleasing results from this approach with myself, a client by the name of Krystal Newton and my partner, Luscious Louise.
Louise, in particular, has recently just lost 24 kg of unwanted excess baggage in around 24 weeks.
In that time she has also experienced an improvement in skin tone, better digestion, reduced abdominal bloating, less fluid retention, little or no IBS, better mental clarity, feels better overall, an even distribution of body fat reduction and less joint niggles.
And all this with very little cardio, apart from her regular weight training sessions 3 times per week.
By simply removing refined carbohydrates from her diet and being mindful of portion sizes, she has turned into a fat-burning machine! Not bad for someone approaching 62 years young!!!
Insulin is a fat storing hormone that is hard for our pancreas to manage, particularly the older we get.
Menopausal women often really battle with weight gain and Louise did for quite some time, until now!!!
This Ketogenic approach is not necessarily something one needs to do forever. Louise may indeed reintroduce carbohydrates sometime soon, but very carefully, using only quality complex sources.
Insulin can be beneficial for many, but sustained high insulin levels is often associated with many negative responses such as higher blood pressure, increased body fat, lower testosterone, higher cortisol, arterial inflammation and the list goes on!!!
Food for thought, people, as we move out of the Christmas crazy carb frenzy!!!
